Spelt flour

This pie recipe from Isabella Palmer is a great one for feeding a crowd on cold nights: flavoured with leek, parsnip, sage, white wine, encased in a buttery spelt shortcrust. 

This deliciously moist apple and walnut cake from Sarah Cotterell and Aitana Infante is made with sourdough but nonetheless simple and easy to make.

This show-stopping cake is wonderfully simple to make. It’s also very forgiving, making it a great bake for playing around with different wholegrain flours. Sarah and Aitana use a 50:50 mix of stoneground white flour and a wholegrain flour such as rye, barley or emmer. Add whichever dried fruit or nuts or seeds you fancy, just keep their weight roughly the same.

These noodles are based off the toasted rye noodles from Ivan Ramen, Ivan Orkin’s infamous ramen restaurant in NYC. Recreated by Eden Owen-Jones using our spelt flour to create toasty, chewy and delicious noodles without the trip to NYC.

This brilliant vegan pizza recipe is from Sophie Gordon’s book The Whole Vegetable. The base is made with stone-ground wholemeal spelt flour - for a satisfying texture and subtle nutty flavour - and raised with baking powder instead of yeast, making it quick and easy to throw together.

This wonderful sourdough recipe is from acclaimed Cornish chef James Strawbridge’s new book about salt. Wholemeal flour is a great addition to any sourdough loaf. Although you won’t get the same large holes and oven spring that you would get from a white loaf, the flavour and nutrition are much improved.

This lovely tart is perfect for entertaining a crowd or when you find yourself with a glut of onions. Many thanks to Sarah and Aitana from The Little Cooking Pot for sharing this recipe from their excellent book A La Mesa.
